Product Information

The book to accompany the TV series, this lists the creatures that made it onto the list in terms of how deadly they are to other species. Steve has completed many endurance events; finished in the top third of the field in the Marathon Des Sables, the top ten of UK’s Tough Guy, 5th in the Welsh 1000m peaks marathon and completed the Devizes to Westminster kayak race. His gripping memoir flashes back to his advanced Himalayan mountaineer qualification with the Indian army, surrounded by soaring lammergeiers (which the Tibetans use to crunch down the bones of their dead and bear their spirits skywards), chough and ravens. A wide variety of insects, reptiles and amphibians use toxins to subdue their prey or to stop becoming prey to another predator.

From the nine-feet long Komodo Dragon through species such as the King Cobra, Lionfish, Fat-tail Scorpion and Poison Dart-frog to the diminutive but lethal Black Widow Spider, author Steve Backshall takes a fascinating look at the different types of natural venoms. Deep in the jungle, they're reunited on their most daredevil and audacious mission yet, to save the endangered orangutans before they become ghosts of the forest. Steve also took part in a brutal caving expedition opening up new passage in Mageni Cave in New Britain.It is not included in promotions available to our main range products, as stated in our terms of service.
